ABSTRACT:
The multiple firing gun assembly includes a semi-automatic gun having a firing trigger and a frame including a trigger guard to which is connected a multiple firing trigger biasing device. The device includes a biasing spring contacting and biasing the trigger forward into the ready-to-fire resting position. A connector clamps or otherwise secures the spring in place within the trigger guard. Preferably, the biasing force exerted by the spring is changeable. The spring is either directly in front of or directly behind the trigger and bears against it to either pull it forward or push it forward. In one embodiment, the spring is in the form of a long wire, the upper end of which is positioned against the rear end of the trigger and the lower end of which is secured to a rotatable paddle carried by a trigger guard clamp. The paddle allows the biasing force to be varied. In another embodiment, a spring-biased plunger contacts the rear end of the trigger. The device enables one to balance the force needed to pull and fire the trigger with an about equal force biasing the trigger into its resting position. The result is a dynamic balance which promotes more rapid firing of the trigger.
